The outstanding work of this artist influenced Clemente in pursue his art studies, and develop a similar technique on realistic painting.

Over the years, Clemente has been exposed to a number of cultures which have deeply affected his perceptions and interpretations relating to the art world.

“My involvement in the art culture of Houston has led me to develop a new method of artistic expression, combining a traditional academic style with a more unique personal language.  My desire to create a more interesting language within my art has resulted in a number of semi-abstract pieces.”

Clemente’s pursuit of an original artistic voice, have resulted in a style which could be described as a marriage of various techniques expressed as a single unified artistic language. 
Past and present reveal themselves as the semi-abstract interacts with realism, serving as a symbolic portrayal of the artist's experiences within American society.
